Fall League registration is now open. TO REGISTER, CLICK on the BALL to the RIGHT --------->

Our Fall Ball age divisions are different from our Spring Season divisions. The Fall 2018 baseball age is the player's age as of August 31, 2018.

• 8 and 9 year-olds will play together using AA fields (65' bases, 46' mound)
• 10 and 11 year-olds will use AAA fields (70' bases, 48' mound)
• 12 and 13 year-olds will use a Prep 13 field (80' bases and 54' mound)

This fall season, DGYB will offer families a more development-focused experience for players ages 6 and 7.  We are organizing a smaller, 6u/7u league to teach, practice and play basic skills as we do in spring ball. Features include coach-pitch and 6-on-6 "speed ball" to ensure kids receive plenty of individualized instruction.
